Suitable, yes IMO.
But 16" barrels with carbine handguards look funny IMO.. |

A dremel with carbide cutter bit cuts them like butter. Just a FSB with set screws alone isnt secure enough IMO. Say its for a 9mm or .22lr.. or a dissapator with seperate gas block... you might get away with no barrel mods. |

I did loctite the screws, and I wouldn't put the fsb in a vise to crank on the flashider, but it's plenty secure. Mine:

What is your proper FSB and what will it cost to get it mounted (I guess you mean to have it and the barrel drilled for taper pins)?

I have a Bushmaster superlight on my XM177E2-forgery and am EXTREMELY well pleased with the accuracy it provideth. Your mileage may vary. But, I doubt it.
